You Really Missed La Rondalla...

It’s hard to remember the last time you had enchiladas and margaritas at La Rondalla. (2007. It closed in
2007.) Finally, it’s back, and it didn’t go changing into a gastronomic Mexiteque on you. But they did
add in new stuff like carnitas. Okay, sure. Carnitas you’ll allow.

The New Oyster Situation at Ichi

First, Ichi existed. Then it moved into its bigger, more beautiful digs. And only now, the crowning
achievement: an hour every weekday involving $1 oysters, $6 wings and $4 Sapporos. That’s a good hour
right there.

TROU DETECTIVE

You Found Breakfast at Trou Normand

Previously, if you went to Trou Normand at 8am, you could... stand around outside watching Yelpers going to
work. Now you can go inside and have a frittata with kale, leeks and parmesan, or sausage gravy and poached
egg on ciabatta, with some Four Barrel coffee. Much better.

Blackbird’s Carbonated Drinks on Tap

Summer’s coming. Kind of hard to believe. But apparently it’s a good time for carbonated cocktails on
tap at Blackbird—think Pimm’s Cups, Palomas and bourbon-spiked New Orleans Coffees. Those make
it easier to believe.

Farmgirl flower arrangements at the ready. Just leave for brunch five minutes early and you’re good.
